Enter your landing page URL, and enter the UTM values you want to track.

You must enter values for utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign.

 


You can use Taboola’s tracking tokens in your UTM URL shown below:

 
{thumbnail}
The image or the video URL
{title}
The headline for your item
{platform}
The user platform on which your item was presented. This returns "Desktop," "Mobile," or "Tablet"
{campaign_id}
A unique Taboola campaign ID. This campaign ID can be found on the "Campaign Management" page in Backstage

Others Click here for Taboola's full set of parameters


To track your ad spend with Taboola, click to the “Optional CMC Parameters” tab of the URL Builder, then under the cmc_cpc field click on “Add Token”.

 


Then just click {cpc} under Taboola and their dynamic cpc token will be inserted into your URL ...

 


 
Note: Taboola sometimes sends the cpc value as a normal decimal number, but other times they send it in an encrypted format.

Unfortunately they don’t explain how this works, and after reaching out to them on multiple occasions we haven’t been able to get any further info on this.

Therefore, you should assume some or all of your cpc values will be encrypted, and follow the two additional steps below to set up support for this as well.


First you will need to reach out to your Taboola support rep and ask them to provide you with your unique secret key that is used to decrypt the cpc values in your URLs. This is the only way to get your Taboola secret key.

Once you have your Taboola secret key, simply go to your ClickMagick Settings, click to the Keys tab, and add your Taboola secret key there. Remember to save when you’re done modifying your Settings!
 



Step 2 – Add Your UTM-Powered URL To Taboola

Inside of Taboola, create a new Campaign Boost or edit an existing Campaign.

Under URL, you'll enter your UTM URL you created in Step 1:
